The builder undertook Vincentia Marketplace as a design-and-construct project built on a 74,000m2 greenfield site after the project had been delayed for a number of years. The builder engaged an entirely new consultant team who established that the site required innovated extensive civil, geotechnical, drainage and environmental service infrastructure improvements before building works could commence.  The remediation of the site required bulk earthworks of 54,000m3, the installation of approximately 2.75km of subsoil drainage and a 3100m2 environmental pond/filtration system.  The building envelope was 11,500m2 comprising a Woolworths store, Aldi store, two mini major retail spaces and 26 speciality tenancies.  Differing site levels around the site boundaries required the building of two 18m clear-spanning pedestrian bridges to access the site.  The rationalisation of the original roof structural design, including the removal of box gutters, rationalisation of parapet walls and the creation of single-pitch roof framing resulted in cost savings and simple building solutions.  Internally, the roof structure changes resulted in a greatly increased cathedral ceiling height and created a dramatic visual improvement to the previously lower suspended ceiling. The project was completed on time despite six weeks of unseasonal inclement weather. The client and the overall project benefited from the builder’s redesign. After a slow start, the site team delivered a high-quality product under very difficult conditions.
